In the mid 90s Little Dragon members Yukimi, Fredrick and Erik met at
high school in Gothenburg, Sweden. After hanging out and performing
together for several years they were joined by keyboardist Håkan
Wirenstrand. The band then decided to move in together to a space near
Gothenburg Central Station known only as the The Seal Colonie (due to
the legend that anyone who lived there would eventually turn into
seals) and the foundations of Little Dragon were created. Fusing
electronic sounds with their love of r&b, Little Dragon released
their genre-hopping first album via Peacefrog Recordings in 2007. For
their second album the group decided to up the tempo, and the
subsequent digital soul sounds they created became 'Machine Dreams'.
With the release of this sophomore album the group caught the attention
of Damon Albarn, and were asked to collaborate with Gorillaz on two
tracks for their 2010 album 'Plastic Beach'. Little Dragon blend catchy
melodies with their trademark electro soul style to create a sound that
makes them stand out from the dreary manufactured pop of today's
saturated market. If you don't believe the hype take a listen for
yourself, but remember there is no smoke without fire.
